Minecraft Update 1.5 Brings Redstone, API Changes

You guys like to do stuff in Minecraft, right? Like, build cool things with Redstone? Yeah, I thought so. Fortunately for you, as GameSpot reports, the folks at Mojang know your creative intentions, and plan on addressing them in Update 1.5, which lays out a bunch of changes to Redstone, including day/night sensors, variable signal strengths, and a brand new capacitor block.

Also included in the update is the long-awaited mod API, which will allow modders to create plugins to be centralized in one big holding chamber deep within Mojang headquarters, guarded by dudes with lasers. Or so I imagine. Regardless, it'll make mods much easier to implement.
